Rory can play the guitar better than 90% of the men out there plunkin' their way through a blues song. If you think a woman can't play some of the best blues you've ever heard, then you ain't listened to Rory Block. I first saw Rory back in 1985. I still go see her every chance I get.

Rory Block - Live, 27Mar09 Live at Blues Greens, Boulder Outlook Hotel.
Nice long set with some different songs from the last post. Lots of story telling if you like that, I'm a bit tired of her stories, frankly. Same stories as years ago, you would think she would get tired of them.

Babs Golden Shamrock Kawaka D'Amour Faithful Delta-Slider supporter, Damian found these out in the internets for y'all! ...

.

This delta had the very pronounced habit, during certain dry seasons, of sliding. In order to compensate for the encroachments of numerous escarpments, which were at this time always encroaching upon everyone, due to the sliding of the delta. Hymns were composed, which were sung to various gods of the delta and the escarpments. In time, the escarpments ceased to encroach, but the delta continued to slide, which was quite naturally no longer dangerous to the local volk. These hymns continued to be sung altho their aetology was long forgotten. Later they were written down in compensium of sliding delta hymns which were so named. - Fahey, Dance of Death liner notes.
